00:00way of a very brief co-sponsorship and more of a manifestation.
00:05Gusto ko lang pong i-bring sa atensyon ng lahat ng mga kasama dito sa Senado
00:10na noong oras na 3.22pm, ngayong hapon,
00:1622 minutes lamang mula noong binuksan natin ang ating sesyon
00:21at posibleng bago pa ispinonsor ng ginoo mula sa Pampanga,
00:28Senator Kiko, ang ating sense of the Senate na resolusyon.
00:33May post na naman, na naman ang Chinese Embassy Manila
00:38tungkol sa paksa ng ating resolusyon.
00:43Ngayon naman, si Deputy Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy, Guo Wei,
00:49sabi niya, echoes.
00:52Echoes do not make a claim true.
00:56What matters is whether the argument stands up to scrutiny,
01:01not how many voices repeat it.
01:05At nirepost nila yung visuals ng 15 Senators
01:10Condemned Chinese Embassy's Criticism of Philippine Officials.
01:15Nang ibig sabihin ng unang linya
01:18ng post ni Deputy Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy, Manila, Guo Wei,
01:24gaya-gaya lang tayo sa isa't isa,
01:27tayong lahat na pumirma so far sa resolusyon.
01:31Ang ibig sabihin sa post niya,
01:35hindi daw tatayo
01:36yung ating pagkondena
01:38sa mga pinagsasabi nila
01:40bago pa ang araw na ito.
01:42At hindi tatayo
01:43yung ating iginigiit
01:45na may karapatan at tungkulin tayong
01:48itaguyod ang pambansang interes.
01:51At minamaliit niya
01:53na halos two-thirds ng Senado
01:55ay pumirma nitong resolusyon.
01:58Ibig sabihin po,
02:00hanggang
02:0136 minutes ago,
02:04half an hour before,
02:06salita pa rin ang salita
02:08ang Chinese Embassy, Manila,
02:10tungkol sa issue na ginawa natin
02:12ng resolusyon
02:13sa pamumuno ni Senator Kiko.
02:16Ganyan pa rin
02:17ang tono nila
02:18bastos.
02:20Walang paggalang.
02:22At gusto pa rin nila
02:23sila ang masusunod.
02:25Hindi lang sa dagat ng Pilipinas,
02:28hindi lang sa social media
02:29ng Pilipinas,
02:30pati sa Senado
02:31ng Pilipinas.
02:33Kaya sa ganang akin lamang po,
02:35Mr. President
02:36at mga kasama,
02:37yung ganyang consistent
02:39na pambabastos,
02:40walang pagrespeto,
02:42napaka-undiplomatic
02:43na stance,
02:45sa ganang akin lamang po,
02:47ay lalong nagbibigay
02:48ng urgency
02:49na maaprubahan
02:51ang ating resolusyon.
02:54Salamat po,
02:54Mr. President.
02:58Before anything else,
03:01allow me to
03:03first
03:03associate myself
03:06with the
03:07with the manifestations
03:09of the principal sponsor,
03:12Senator Pangilinan,
03:13and the other
03:13sponsors
03:14and our
03:14colleagues.
03:16Secondly,
03:18yes,
03:19we will be
03:20perhaps
03:22studying the
03:23resolution,
03:24but in the
03:25same light,
03:26I suggest
03:27that we study
03:28the possibility
03:29of declaring
03:30that particular
03:31person
03:32persona
03:33grata
03:33and that is
03:35very,
03:35very serious
03:37when the
03:38Senate
03:39does that.
03:40So,
03:41I suggest
03:42that the
03:42committee on
03:42rules
03:43study the
03:45possibility.
03:47Senator
03:48Laxon is
03:48organized.
03:51Thank you,
03:51Mr. President.
03:52This is a point
03:53of clarification,
03:54and I'd like
03:55to address this
03:55to the
03:56distinguished
03:56sponsor
03:57of the
03:57resolution.
03:58Did I hear you
03:59correctly when
04:00you said
04:00that you
04:02were amenable
04:03to holding
04:04committee
04:05hearings
04:05in relation
04:08to this
04:08resolution?
04:10Well,
04:10I was open
04:11to the
04:12suggestion.
04:13I did not
04:14actually say
04:15I was
04:15adopting it.
04:16Thank you
04:17for the
04:17clarification.
04:18And if I may,
04:19Mr. Senate
04:19President,
04:19I consulted
04:22ChatGPT.
04:23Only the
04:24head of
04:24state may
04:25declare
04:26personal
04:27non-grata
04:27when it
04:30involves
04:30diplomats.
04:32So,
04:33we can
04:33only
04:33recommend
04:34if we
04:34want to
04:35recommend.
04:38So,
04:38personal
04:39non-grata
04:39sa Senate.
04:44Yeah.
04:44But we
04:45cannot
04:45declare
04:47any
04:48diplomat
04:49personal
04:49non-grata
04:50just to
04:50clarify.
